[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the change makes more sense. To me, Typing is a verb. It represented hitting the keys on the typewriter. Keyboarding is a noun and is more inclusive of eboverything kesrned today - turning on the computer, using the mouse, opening the program, etc. Not exactly parallel, but...... When you draw, you create a drawing. When you type on a keyboard, you have learned keyboarding. Tpwhen you workout, you completed training. [/quote] Typing can be a verb as in I "am typing", or a noun, a gerund, as in what I am doing right now is "typing". A keyboard is a noun as in the computer keyboard, but doesn't work as a verb. Typing is the action of striking a key, keyboarding doesn't conjure up any action in my mind. Mousing is totally different than striking keys so I don't know why that would be lumped in with keyboarding when the mouse is not even a part of the keyboard.[/quote]
